Questions we’re
often asked.
Something else on your mind? Ask us on the phone, or leave your number and we’ll call.
Request a callbackDo you see children?
Yes. Children’s check-ups and everyday care are part of what we do. Kids under 12 pay no gap for a clean when they’re on extras cover that includes dental. Ask the front desk which funds this applies to. We accept the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS): eligible children aged 0 to 17 can use up to $1,158 over two calendar years (periods starting in 2026).
How often should I have a check-up?
Most people need one every six to twelve months. Your dentist will suggest what suits you.
What does a general dentist do?
A general dentist looks after your everyday dental care: check-ups and cleans, fillings, crowns and bridges, root canal treatment, taking teeth out, and care for children. If you need more complex care, such as surgery in hospital, your dentist explains why and refers you.
Does Medicare cover dental?
Not for most adults. Medicare pays towards eligible children’s dental care through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, which we accept. Adults with a Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card or Commonwealth Seniors Health Card can use NSW public dental services. Otherwise, extras cover pays part of the cost, depending on your fund.
Do you accept NSW Health dental vouchers?
Yes. If NSW public dental has given you a voucher, call us with the voucher type and we’ll tell you what it covers here.
Will I know the cost before treatment?
Yes. We explain your options and what each costs before anything starts, so you can ask questions and decide.
Can I claim on my health fund?
If your extras cover includes dental, bring your card and claim on the spot through HICAPS. Your rebate depends on your fund, your cover and the treatment.
What if I’m nervous?
Tell us. We can talk through your concerns, explain what’s happening and pause when you need us to.
Do you make dentures here?
Yes. Dentures are made and repaired in our own lab, run by Anthony Adaimy, our dental prosthetist.
What if something hurts now?
Call us on (02) 9715 6567 and tell the front desk what’s happening.
